Uses Bluetooth or USB input for music
Easy accessible
Portable
Expensive price point
This karaoke machine's fun lights and Bluetooth functionality will make it a big hit with any 7-year-old girl who loves to sing, making it our top overall pick. Whether you have a budding musical star in your house or are looking for a fun activity at your child's next sleepover, the Singing Machine Bluetooth Karaoke System is sure to pump out all the hits.
Fifty-four dimmable LED disco lights make it easy to make any space feel like a party and create the perfect ambiance. The display shows the track number as you toggle between songs, pause and play the music, or adjust the volume. The machine can use Bluetooth or USB input for music straight from a device, so your 7-year-old can belt out all of her favorite hits into the microphone. Or connect it to your television and sing along with the lyrics to all of your favorite songs.
Plug a second microphone (sold separately) into the other headphone jack for parties or special occasions. Or pair easily with other karaoke machines for a jam session. Show off your natural skills or use the echo effects on the microphone for a concert-like feel.
The built-in speaker provides high-quality sound, but reviewers noted it's a little quieter than competitors, which is ideal if you live in an apartment or a small space. The microphone has adjustable volume control so that you can customize noise levels.

What to Look for in a Gift for a 7-Year-Old
Imagination
While 7-year-old girls may know the difference between make-believe and reality, they still have plenty of imagination to entertain themselves and amuse others. Whether it’s a hands-on activity or a creative outlet to bring her dreams to life, you can't go wrong with a gift that helps her explore her own imagination.
Interaction
Help your 7-year-old acclimate to the world around her with gifts and activities that strengthen her ability to communicate with others. Make the most of her silly sense of humor, and help her develop social confidence. Games, karaoke, and other gifts that help her build confidence are great for her social development.
Creativity
Most 7-year-olds are full of ideas and energy. Plus, they're refining their fine motor skills. Give her a fun, engaging way to explore her budding creativity, and you’ll be delighted to see the fun and interesting things she comes up with. Choose from options like needlepoint, connector construction kits, and more.
